I am new to XML. Please tell me the best XML editor plugin for Eclipse. I need to create/edit XML and XSD files.

    IMHO buy Oxygen/XML. It's expensive but worth every penny if you need a good XML/XSLT/XSD editor and debugger. I am not affiliated with Oxygen/XML in any way. – Jim Garrison Feb 24 '12 at 07:16

    @@JIM, ok what about the second best :) editor which is free? – rahman Feb 24 '12 at 07:55
  • update: I installed the evaluation version of Oxygen/XML. without a doubt it is a complete set with every functionality and flexibility you need. – rahman Feb 28 '12 at 02:08

    The not-constructive-nazis are at it again, isn't this a surprise... -.- – fgysin Dec 03 '13 at 13:27
  • without a doubt Oxygen/XML is THE best xml editor I have ever used. I purchased the academic version for a cheap price and have been using it for the past ~2 years. It is perfect. – rahman Dec 03 '13 at 17:40
  • I spent a lot of time looking for an XML editor before I realized I didn't need one. Refer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4590119/how-do-i-view-xml-in-eclipse-with-simple-syntax-highlighting – mGamma May 10 '16 at 07:35

For a free XML editor that is good enough for your basic XML editing needs, I'd recommend Eclipse own project webtools: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/sse/

Its available from the Eclipse update site at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/

Please check the market place of Eclipse.

In this site, you can find any plug-in. Also, it's easy to add it into Eclipse without encountering any problems.

    there is one version compatible with eclipse juno. I used it but it crashes while opening large files(expected though). good for normal jobs. – rahman Dec 03 '13 at 17:56
